Very sad to hear the great Martin Rushent has died.
I came to know him when I worked for what used to be Melody Maker in Sheffield in the 1980s.
He produced one of the great albums of all time - The Human League's DARE.
From that album came one of the seminal pop singles ever - the brilliant Don't You Want Me, which came to encapsulate the era for me and which remains one of my favourite (if not the) of all time.
RIP Martin - and thanks for the great memories...
